Country Montessori School 12642 Monte Vista Road, Poway, CA 92064

"Unmatched facilities, great teachers, and Jose (the director) are phenomenal. Our daughter loves CMS and we can't wait until our youngest is big enough to start going. Some of the other schools in the area are fine but once you see CMS it's clear that it is head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you to the entire team for being so great to our family."

"We were at Country Montessori School for 8 years now and were so impressed with quality of the education. Our child has been instilled with an incredible love of learning. She enjoys the Montessori materials and the new challenges in working with the materials at higher grade levels. The teachers are so caring and involved in each child's needs and progress. We are so confident in method and knowledge provided at the school. There is a strong sense of community with the other parents at the school. Community is not easy to find and often hard to build, but it is very strong at the school."

"Coming to CMS is absolutely the best decision we made for our son who has been attending CMS since he was 3. He is now in 5th grade. Our family will miss being part of the CMS community next year. The Montessori education has suited him well. Not only is he excelling academically and socially, he has learned to be independent. Most important, he loves to learn. CMS has a strong community with Staff and parents who genuinely care about the students. The school carries a lot of positive energy, and everyone is visibly happy. If you are looking for an environment where children will be able to maximize their potential, learn to be independent, make life time friends and are happy, CMS is the best option."

"Our daughter LOVES Country Montessori School. We moved here from the Bay Area just under a year ago. It was a big transition for our 4 year old. Her teachers, Mrs. West and Ms. Bohn, have been so instrumental in helping her adjust to a new school, new rules, and new friends. She has grown so much as a result of their nurturing and support. In our car rides home my daughter would sing all the songs she is learning in Spanish class (thank you Maestra Salas!) Our daughter absolutely LOVES her music teacher Mr. Short. The Spring Fling event was by far and away the coolest school event we've ever attended. Excellent teachers, clean facility, and awesome school."

"Both of my children went to CMS from pre-K through 5th grade, and we love it. The teachers are thoughtful and very well trained, and the administration was friendly and responsive to any concerns we had. My older child is now in a public high school in the Poway district and his experiences at CMS not only prepared him academically but socially as well. Recent upgrades to the buildings and playgrounds have made the campus more comfortable and attractive, but the real value of our childrens' experience there was driven by the excellent teachers and administrators, fellow students, and dedicated parents. Full disclosure: we loved the school so much that my wife is now a teacher there, so you might view this as a bias or a dedicated vote of confidence for the school."
